Abstract

The proposals in this document arose out of preparatory work by the four authors for the TUC ‘Closing the Gap’ conference in Salford as well as contributions by participants at the event. The manifesto in Appendix I represents some very preliminary ideas and suggestions towards a mental w/health manifesto, but does not claim to be a comprehensive statement nor represent the position of any particular organization or campaign. However, if there is a wish amongst wider mental w/health campaigns to do so, the authors are open to further discussions to develop this in democratic, collaborative and inclusive ways into a post-austerity Mental Health/Wealth Manifesto to inform ongoing activism.
